Are You a Hero?

Many men on YouTube dismiss women who tell their stories of abuse by a man. The common excuse used is that the man 'must've been a sociopath.'

Considering how rare true sociopathy is, this dismissal is rather weak.

These men who abuse are everywhere. The look normal, act normal and have normal jobs.

As a woman and a feminist on YouTube, I find many other women like myself sifting through comment after comment by males who use this dismissive tactic.

  • In the United States, a woman is beaten every 7.4 seconds. Approximately 3-4 million women are beaten by male partners annually.
  • The Commonwealth Fund survey reported that 1.9 million women reported having been raped, and 7.6 million reported having been mugged, robbed, or assaulted in the previous 5 years.
  • From 1983 to 1991, the number of domestic violence reports received increased by almost 117% (NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services, 1983 and 1991).
  • Of every 1,000 pregnant women, 154 are assaulted by their partner during the first four months of pregnancy.
  • During the 5th through the 9th month, 170 out of 1,000 pregnant women are assaulted.

Two Moons, Amaretto, Domestic Violence, Friends, and Getting Marcel To Calm Himself

HELLOOOOOOO PEOPLE!

You're gonna love this vlog. My two favourite moons are being exploited. Ssshh. You'll have to watch the vlog! However, I will say that Marcel the love bug is exploiting my Knightify Moon. See, my KM is actually trying to make some sense out of this whole Marcel v Antique v Nuke v Me thing, and Marcel isn't really taking kindly to it. It's a bit disheartening eh?

Marcel,

Someday I will teach you how to ground and take your power back. At this point, you're aligning yourself with the wrong people and not listening to the Diana Yogi Swami Love.

I think there's been a change in my energy lately. I feel much freer here on my little spot with my new video hosting provider. It's like being let out of the restrictive box. I mean, I'm still taking heat but meh, it's a smoooooth and eeeeeasy life right now.

Also, I don't have to listen to any trolls! The YouTube trolls don't come here. *knock on my motherboard*

Silenced Woman Talking

I'm not in the Milky Way Feminist Galaxy any more. I'm somewhere out 'there'. There's got to be a place where feminists can make videos without stupid male and sometimes female trolling commentary.

I'm away from all the feminists I love and it hurts.

Women talking about women.


Gee, what a concept.
